njc110381 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 That's a nice bike! I wouldn't give my guns up for one, but if it makes you happy that's what really matters isn't it. I've had several friends tell me Harleys are a lot like Land Rovers - noisy, slow etc etc. You either love them or hate them. I love Landys, and I quite like the bike too. Not everyone wants to rush around like a fool and risk getting killed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullbore Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 My point exactly, but people sem to think that because their bike/car whatever is fast, it has to be driven fast! Not so, Its the nut holding the handlebars that decides how fast it goes! My days of rushing round like a fool are long past, especially with fuel at the price it is, BUT I don't need to buy a slower car or bike to dictate how fast I drive/ride, I am perfectly capable of decicing that for myself. This thread is just typical of a Harley rider. Question. How do you tell a Harley ride? Answer, you don't he'll tell you! Just got to save up for all the rest of the "lifestyle" tat now, t shirt, shades, boots, after shave, wallet on a chain etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Becacuse of the developements we did on Brakes suspention etc thats why you have such machines today, The harley is sidate comfy and a different way of rideing, its a cruser not a bruser, this engine is bomb proof, but you younguns wouldnt know how to ride a old style bike. Even though one of you has what looks like a british twin in the avatar Been riding bikes for over 40 years, and my hand-built British bike certainly goes, stops & handles - it's a shame that Harleys don't, but then it is a "status cult" isn't it. I prefer a motorbike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilishdave Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 From a fellow biker, I would never sell a gun to finance a bike but would and have sold bikes to finance guns. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Guys he's not sold his guns to finance a bike. His licence has been revoked in what looks like very unfair circumstances - so he's selling the rest of his gear to fund something else he likes doing.

ANDYD Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Dont know the story but I came on this site just as the brown sticky stuff was flying about Good buy Winchester & good timing too(our winters are better than our summers for riding.) I have looked at a harley for a while but I don't ride what I have at the mo (GSX1400) It doesn't matter what you ride as long as you keep it shiney side up Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Enjoy it mate I also am a keen biker but more into sportsbikes, I gave shooting a rest for a few years but now enjoy shooting more now than ever. more importantly dont forget to nod or wave not like many Harley riders out there Edited December 27, 2008 by blackbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodmedod.one Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I am sorry to hear that you have had your gun licence(s) revoked. I hope that your Harley comes some way towards easing the pain of loosing your guns. I have never owned a Harley, but have three friends that do. The rubber band drive to the rear wheel is always going wrong. Getting a small flint trapped between the belt and the pulley is all it takes to split the belt. The clutches seem to go with frightening regularity also. Another problem is generally dodgy electrical "niggles". My current bike is a Yamaha R-1, so I am not really into the whole Harley scene, but have had a couple of rides on them. What I would say is for god's sake don't forget that they have next to no lean angle before something grounds out and the brakes are abysmal. So long as you are happy with it, that is all that matters Take care, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 This is the one I sold a few months ago. It made a nice noise. Alas, my biking days are now over.

Jim Sarakun Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Excellent choice of bike winchester. Don't you be put off by these grumpy old **** who have never owned one, and can't afford one either. I have owned a few Harley's since the eighties, and I love em. Fancy that Rocker jobbie now I do. Done the culture thing and been all over Europe on 'em and never had one let me down. Yes, had some great times on the Harley, been to some fantastic parties and even met my wife because of it and I don't care who knows it. keep them knees in the wind and the shiny side up and enjoy it I say...
